b.Passion business I - Red Sorghum Wine

Today a group of kind Taiwanese treated me to their version of red sorghum. It was marked 58% alcohol. It was sweet scented and very fiery to the stomach. They talked enthusiastically about my winery license and operation. Red Sorghum made its way to Taiwan after the fall of Kuomintang in 1949 where thousands of soldiers left their mainland china homes to flee to Taiwan. The Taiwanese then defiantly stuck to Kinmen Kaoliang,their version of the red sorghum wine, while the ancient Red Sorghumremained deeply rooted in China as their better version.

Among them, a confidante of Kinmen Kaoliang then mentioned plans about moving that recipe to white land. I just smiled.

Maybe I have real fun after all.

Project Update:

about me

In "1984", George Orwell paints his vision of life in an age where
totalitarianism has eradicated individuality, choice and personal
identity. In the context of a modern dystopia in the grip of political
megalomania, Orwell raises a number of concerns in connection with
modern society and the human race, while highlighting the importance of
preserving individual identity. While still a novel, 1984's core themes
are pertinent to our current world, as it draws several parallels
between the life of its protagonist, Winston, and that of the modern
man, and alludes to an important fact: identity can only exist when the
environment allows it.

1984 follows a man who has lost his identity, who does not possess
outward status of any kind and whose every move is scrutinised by those
in control. Throughout the novel, Winston seeks to be identified by
those of like mind. Eventually he meets a man named O'Brien and becomes
a criminal working against the party. Ultimately Winston is caught,
unable to overcome the regime; he is physically and psychologically
manipulated until finally he yields total obedience to his superiors.

Orwell draws a parallel between Winston and the human race as a
whole, implying that Winston is the "last man" left. The novel's
clearest message is that the human race ought not to destroy its own
identity. Orwell portrays authority as being obsessed with identifying
every aspect of its subjects, from their names to the records of their
every move. Yet it is apparent that this obsession with identification
and control leads to the destruction of every kind of meaningful
identity, since it transforms a society of unique individuals into one
of perfect homogeneity. The government's contempt for individuality is
furthered by the notion that people are classified as either sane or
insane; sanity is the equal capital crime punishable by decapitation.

With Dr Calhoun's perfect experiment on humans - the Holocaust II, it presents a perfect recipe for the extermination of the sinkies.
